OBJECTIVE
To explore the effect of sophocarpine on experimental liver fibrosis and the potential mechanism involved.
METHODS
Sophocarpine was injected intraperitoneally in two distinct rat hepatic fibrosis models induced either by dimethylnitrosamine or bile duct ligation. Masson's trichrome
The matrine-type alkaloid, oxymatrine inhibits hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication but very little is known about these effects in other matrine-type alkaloids, including sophoridine and sophocarpine. Therefore, we compared the in vitro anti-HBV effects of matrine, oxymatrine, sophocarpine, and
To study the preventive effect of sophocarpine (Soc) on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice, in order to analyze the influence of Soc on toll like receptor 4 (TLR4)/mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and janus tyrosine kinase 2 signal transducer and activator of transcription
BACKGROUND
Sophora alopecuroides L. (the clinical usefulness of compound Kudouzi injection) has been used mainly for the treatment of fever, inflammation, edema and pain. Sophocarpine, a tetracyclic quinolizidine alkaloid, is one of the most abundant active ingredients in Sophora alopecuroides L.
Sophocarpine, a tetracyclic quinolizidine alkaloid, is one of the most abundant active ingredients in Sophora alopecuroides L. Our previous studies have showed that sophocarpine exerts anti-inflammatory activity in animal models. In the present study, anti-inflammatory mechanisms of sophocarpine
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a type of degenerative joint disease affecting millions of individuals worldwide. However, there are currently no great inflammatory treatments available for it. Sophocarpine (SPC), one of the key bioactive compounds derived from Sophora flavescens, has shown
Background: Cigarette smoking is one of the main predisposing factors for atherosclerosis, which can lead to vascular inflammation. Emerging research has demonstrated that the rate of restenosis is increased following angioplasty in
